Young Thistle Scheme
With Under 16s gaining free admission to all League fixtures at Firhill next season there is no better time to be a young Thistle supporter.
As part of the aim of welcoming new people into the Thistle family and strengthening the bond between Club and Supporter of those already part of that family we are delighted to bring news of enhanced packages for our young supporters next season.
The Young Thistle scheme will be split into two distinct groups, for ages up to 11 (Wee Jags/Thistle Juniors) and ages 12 – 16 (Thistle Futures) allowing the opportunity to broaden the involvement of young supporters in this great Club.

Exclusive Young Thistle Zones
Each group will have a separate section, which will be in use from August 2nd onwards, in the Jackie Husband Stand for their exclusive use.
Special Stewarding Arrangements and clear rules will be in place in each zone.
Those using the Wee Jags/PT Juniors zone will need to be accompanied by an adult.
The Thistle Futures Zone though will be adult free in an attempt encourage Thistle fans of that age group to attend games with their friends in a safe environment.
The Catering Stalls close to these zones will be geared to cater for the tastes of younger supporters.
Stamps Mean Prizes
Every supporter who becomes a part of the Young Thistle Scheme will receive a PT Passport.
In addition to being an excellent way to collect autographs the Passport will be stamped each and every time the young supporter attends a Thistle game.
- 10 stamps collected – Earn the chance to meet manager Ian McCall
- 15 stamps collected – Earn the chance to attend an exclusive training session with Ian McCall, Gerry Britton, John Henry and all the players in attendance.
Player Zone
Possession of a PT Passport will also gain the holder access to an exclusive Player Zone in the Main Stand.
After every home game a minimum of two players will attend the Player Zone to meet our Young Supporters and sign autographs.
Wear the Colours
An exclusive T-Shirt has been designed for each of the two Young Thistle groups and members will receive this T-shirt upon joining the Young Thistle Scheme.
Additional Thistle Futures Benefits
All members can attend a Christmas party with all the players, have the chance to be a Matchday mascot and have the option of a Matchday birthday.
Thistle Futures members also receive an add to the Futures Bebo site, and the chance to win an exclusive coaching session with the "Partick Paparrazi" competition for the best photo of you wearing your Thistle top with a celebrity.
The Future of Partick Thistle
It is with our younger supporters that the future Partick Thistle lies.
Already being admitted free next season we hope the above packages will, for just £10, allow them to feel a real part of the Club and become Thistle fans for years to come.
